Re: Poison of a Materialistic Society
** ** The entire world today follows Bacon’s philosophy of modern atomism that is man’s dominion over nature as his right through continued, systematic Research of science. For the material benefit of mankind in general, as man’s purpose on earth, and as God’s commands to Adam. Moral philosophy according to Bacon is man’s persistence in Adam’s first transgression of God’s command in testing the fruits of forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This philosophy is directly antithetic to revealed religion. Moral philosophy and not natural philosophy for material benefit is the basis of revealed religion. Therefore either the philosophy of revealed religion or this philosophy of Bacon. The two cannot coexist.
